rapture of the church
The word rapture does not occur in the Bible. The term comes from a Latin word meaning “a carrying off, a transport, or a snatching away.” The concept of the “carrying off” or the rapture of the church is clearly taught in Scripture.
The rapture of the church is the event in which God “snatches away” all believers from the earth in order to make way for His righteous judgment to be poured out on the earth during the tribulation period. The rapture is described primarily in 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18 and 1 Corinthians 15:50–54. God will resurrect all believers who have died, give them glorified bodies, and take them from the earth, along with all living believers, who will also be given glorified bodies at that time. “For the Lord Himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever” (1 Thessalonians 4:16–17).
The rapture will involve an instantaneous transformation of our bodies to fit us for eternity. “We know that when he [Christ] appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is” (1 John 3:2). The rapture is to be distinguished from the second coming. At the rapture, the Lord comes “in the clouds” to meet us “in the air” (1 Thessalonians 4:17). At the second coming, the Lord descends all the way to the earth to stand on the Mount of Olives, resulting in a great earthquake followed by a defeat of God’s enemies (Zechariah 14:3–4).
The doctrine of the rapture was not taught in the Old Testament, which is why Paul calls it a “mystery” now revealed: “Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed” (1 Corinthians 15:51–52).
The rapture of the church is a glorious event we should all be longing for. We will finally be free from sin. We will be in God’s presence forever. There is far too much debate over the meaning and scope of the rapture. This is not God’s intent. Rather, the rapture should be a comforting doctrine full of hope; God wants us to “encourage each other with these words” (1 Thessalonians 4:18).

Moon, there is no such doctrine in the Scriptures called 'PRETRIBULATION' rapture.
Believers will be going thru the TRIBULATION, before GOD Almighty unleashes His wrath upon the world the believers will be protected,as they are saved from ' WRATH', not TRIBULATION.
Moon, readand study the Scriptures for yourself, quit going on the site 'gotquestions' or other such sites.

Moon,why do you and many self diluted people believe teachings that are not in the Scriptures. There is no 7 year tribulation spoken of in the Scrptures. J N Darby made up that THEORY, and many people
believe the have a GET OUT OF TRIBULATION FREE card given to the by Messiah. You and many others place your gaith in ONE verse of Scripture not the entire book.
Do you remember the parables Yeshua spoke concerning the end tims, or do we just ignore what He said in order to believe our own UNBELIEF in what men such asJ N Darby, and ohers have written about the end times.

Moon says: Do you know the difference between a parable and Trueth?
Evidently not because the Rapture scriptures in this Topic is Trueth.
Quiznos: Moon, you have publicly admitted that you DO NOT BELIEVE that the parables of the Messiah are not true and have no truth in them,hmmm. Seems as though you believe you have no idea what a parable is, nor why the were given by the SON of GOD Almighty.
If this is not true then why do you and the christians quote it so much.
Matthew 24 verses 36-44
36No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 37As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark. 39And they were oblivious, until the flood came and swept them all away. So will it be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40Two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. 41Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left.
42Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day on which your Lord will come. 43But understand this: If the homeowner had known in which watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. 44For this reason, you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.
Moon, do not the christians use these Scripture to talk about the end times. Now in these Scriptures, who is taken, and who is left.
Try twisting that with you gotquestions fake holy spirit site.
